The lemon trick

David Weaver

gone but not forgotten
Does anyone remember, prior to the war, standing in front of the trumpeter of the Salvation Army sucking a slice of lemon? It caused no end of lousy music, and I wondered if it was widespread or just me being horrible.
 
I never saw the "lemon trick" but many years ago on a Chat Show, Peter Sellers told a story about sucking lemons when he was in a show and the mayhem it caused.
